Bachmann: Why is there a Department of Education?

Growing up as a child of the California School System (until my last 2 years of high school) WITHOUT a Federal Dept. of Education, I don't recall ever getting "educated" on Creationism and the like. I grew up learning the Theory of Natural Selection, plate tectonics (that was relatively "ground breaking" back then...;) ) and such.

As long as the parents pay for the choice
so then i shouldnt have to pay for public education if i chose to send my kid to a private school.

or do you agree with the govt being able to confiscate your money to pay for their garbage public education like its currently done?

I am not wealthy nor stupid. I'm what I would consider "Middle Class" and hold a degree in Computer Science. I voted Republican in the last presidential election(Ron Paul) and will most likely vote Republican in the upcoming election as well (again...Ron Paul).

Wait.. your argument was that because there is no top oversight that two different things would be taught at the two different school systems, primarily on the basis that facts would be rewritten. In an independent school system you, as the parent, could choose which school curicculum you wanted your kids to learn (Creatonism vs evolution), and rightfully so.

Remember, history is always rewritten. Winston Churchill: "History is written by the victor." I prefer a system where I can hear objectively the different 'histories' from each school, and choose which one is most correct and unbiased for my children to learn from.

No actually I said 50 different things. Really it could be far higher than that as I guess each district and maybe what, each individual school could teach whatever they wanted? I used those couple of points as examples, thats all. This would result in one seriously divided nation. Not to say that it isnt already divided and due for another civil war but I think this certainly wouldnt help.

Also with regards to your winston churchill quote, are you suggesting that in reality the South won the civil war? (see I can do the same thing).
